It is the KeeperCurator of the Isham Memorial Library's responsibility to ensure that there is at least two one major exhibitions exhibition per year, one in the fall and one in the spring.

Planning
A calendar of upcoming exhibitions is maintained in the Music Library's Exhibits folder on SharePoint. Staff at the Boston Public Library's Leventhal Map Collection in 2024 generously compiled a document listing the collaborative tools they use to visualize and plan exhibitions.
Help
Isham staff may be called upon to help others put on exhibitions, and can assist with every aspect from planning to labels to deinstalling. Another option to consider is student help. Pforzheimer Fellowships and provostial funding are both useful resources for exhibition help.
